The biotransformation of water insoluble substrates by mammalian and
bacterial cells has been problematic, since these whole cell reactions are
primarily performed in an aqueous environment The implementation of a ...

The development of new methodology for the asymmetric synthesis of chiral
organic compounds is a major focus in modem organic chemistry.
The use of chiral catalysts is replacing chiral auxiliaries as a new tool for
synthetic ...

An efficient way of synthesizing the deuterium labelled analogues of three
methoxypyrazine compounds: 2-d3-methoxy-3-isopropylpyrazine, 2-d3-methoxy-3-
isobutylpyrazine, and 2-d3-methoxy-3-secbutylpyrazine, has been ...

Two efficient, regio- and stereo controlled synthetic approaches to the
synthesis of racemic analogs of pancratistatin have been accomplished and they serve
as the model systems for the total synthesis of optically active ...

One of the most challenging tasks for a synthetic organic chemist today, is the
development of chemo, regio, and stereoselective methodologies toward the total
synthesis of macromolecules. r

The objective of my thesis ...

New and robust methodologies have been designed for palladiumcatalyzed
cross-coupling reactions involving a library of novel tertiary phosphine
ligands incorporating a phospha-adamantane framework. The secondary ...
